THE spirit Of liberality which is mani
fest by the people of Great Falls when
n enterprise of true merit is brought to
their notice, augures well for the future
prosperity of the place. There is a con-
spicuous absence of the pigish policy of
wanting everything for nothing. The re-
cent meeting called to secure aid for the
completion of the Neihart road is fair
sample. It required nc leng-winded,
flovery speech to attain the object in view.
A simple statement Of facts, with the as
suranee that the money subscribed would
be honestly expended upon the road was
all that was needed to open the purse
strings of our people. The subscription
which amounted to over $1,000, collected
in less than six hours, in a town of the
size of Great Falls is something remarka-
BILE. To the resident of Neihart, who are
laboring SO diligently to secure the CON-
pletion of this highway, this subscription
will 60 a long way, not only inthe amount
of labor it will pay for, but it will cement
a kindly feeling toward u place, which
in an indirect way will be returned to US
doubled many times. It will also go to
show the people of the prosperous camps
of the Belt mountains, that Great Falls has
IN interest in their prosperity and will as
sist them in any enterprise which is de-
serving.

THERE is a law, although somew hat of y
dead letter, which forbids the importation
of cheap labor. When this law is put into
effect to protect natural born or naturaliz-
ed American citizens, it is a good law, but
when it is to protect those who are not
American citizens, it is a very bad one.
Mr.. Powderly, and men of his ilk, have
been placed at the head Of labor unions to
protect, among other things, the members
thereof from suffering by the importation
of this cheap labor. While it is not the
intention Of the writer to comment upon
labor unions, he must say that it is a no
ticeable fact that many Of the loudest talk
ers in these labor unions are not citizens
of the United States, and that therefore
they have no right to protest against other
foreigners comingto America to earn their
bread, no matter for what wages they
work. The object of this article is to in
vite the attention of Mr.. Powderly n
labor unions to the fact that a most flagrant
case of importation Of cheap labor has oc-
Cured, aud is to be repeated, and worse
than all the labor comes from Africa. The
following article from the Chicago Herald
will explain the case.

ing near Kingston, Madison county, Ken

seven large monkeys to work in his hemp

quickly and better than the men he for

They Were First Used to Prevent Guests
From Beiny Poisoned.
In feudal England the surnappe was
raised with much ceremony over Tho

The dishes were brought in. each in
turn having been previously tasted by
the steward and cook. and now openly
assayed before the eyes of the august
persons who were eventually to con-
sumo them. At the conclusion of the
meal the spoons and dishes were re-
moved, when the surnappo was drawn
over the soiled tablecloth. and the
eurer, with his followers, passed the
assayed layers and napkins to the as
semDled guests.

ever, caused eating to become so clean

the recent past that tho napkin no
longer held its ground as an article Of
use. but became merely an ornament
and a thing Of ceremony. TWAS found
that with little care one could retire
from the table without the necessity
for cleansing the hands. Thus it hap
pened that the napkin was discarded
as a useless cXtravagance from
